IMPRVEMENT IN PAPER-ENGINES.

The Bohedule refet-red to in these Letters Patent and making part of thesame.

To all whom it may concem:

'Be it known that I, EBENEZER BAWKINS, of Islip, in the county'ofSuflblk, and State of New York, have invented a new and' improvedPaper-Engine; and I do he'eby declare that the following is a full,clear, and exact'description thereofi which will enable others skilledin the art temake and use the same, reference being had to theaccompanying clrawings, forming part of this specification, in which-'Figure 1 reprsents a vertical section of my improved paper-engine.

Figure 2 is e plan or top View' of the same.

Similar'letters of reference indicate eorresponding pats.

1 This invention relates to certain improvements in the heating-engineused for the treatment of half stuff, and has for its object to providemore rapid and continuous action than could be obtained in the ordinaryova-l vat and single cylinde'.

The invention consists in the airangement and use of an annular vat orcistern, together with two or more beati'ng-cylinders, all arranged soas to produce continuous and rapid action.

, A, in the drawing, represents an annular vat or cistem, made of wpodor other suitable material, of suitable. size. v

In the circlar space formed within it, is arranged the verticaldriving-shaft B', which, by means of gearwheels, or other suitablecounections, imparts motion to two or more horizontal 'adial shafts, OC, and to the oyliders D monnted thereon. I

The cylinders D are of a. similar construetion as those in the ordinarypaper-engines, and zu'e'provided' with teeth or cutters, in the usualmanner.

'Under each cylinder is formed, upon the bottom of the vet, a.breasting, E, which may contain' the usual block with the stationarycut-ters, and which may be of the form shown in fig. 1 or of any .othersuitable shape.

By having the anniar vat and two or morecylinders, the stuif will bekept in constant action, and will, in a very short time, be properlyprepared, while, in the ordinary vats, it is not at-.all acted uponwhile passing through the outer* channel of the vat.

Having thus described iny invention,

I claim as new, and desire to. secure by Letters Patent- Apaper-engin'e,consisting ot' the annular vait A and two or more beat-ing-*cylinders DD, substantially as h'erein shown and described. e
